President Sadyr Japarov ordered the start of construction for 36 new educational institutions earlier this year in the cities of Bishkek, Osh, and Manas. The Ministry of Construction, Architecture, and Housing and Communal Services reported that 20 schools are currently under construction in Bishkek, 10 in Osh, and 6 in Manas.

The government also opened 105 social facilities in a single day to mark the 35th anniversary of Kyrgyzstan's independence. This group of facilities included 34 schools, 28 kindergartens, 12 sports complexes, 9 medical institutions, 9 cultural houses, and 11 administrative buildings. Authorities expect to open about 50 more schools by the end of the year.
